"Kill!" Xu Shu grimaced his face, his face was a little evil, and the corners of his mouth were raised and shouted: "Don't leave a single one!" ”

At this time, on the plains north of western Liaoning, more than 10,000 Bingzhou iron cavalry, under the leadership of Zhao Yun and Xu Shu, chased tens of thousands of Xianbei cavalry and slashed frantically. The Xianbei soldiers seemed to be frightened, and they only cared about their panicked escape, and none of the Xianbei generals dared to take command. Xu Shu has been out of the customs with a large army for nearly two months, and along the way, he has encountered several Xianbei tribes.

The Xianbei tribe encountered today is the larger Murong tribe in the eastern Xianbei. I thought that I would be anxious for a few days, but what Xu Shu didn't expect was that Xianbei would collapse at the first touch, and in less than two hours, he was in chaos and began to flee around. Xi Zhong, who came with the army, was even more speechless, he heard how Xianbei was in the past, and he shocked the northern Xinjiang, but he didn't expect to be so weak.

"General, do you want to continue the pursuit?"

Zhao Yun, whose face was covered with blood, came to Xu Shu and asked in a slightly panting voice. It's not that Zhao Yun is not physically strong, but that he is tired of slashing and chopping.

Xu Shu had a calm face, looked around and said fiercely: "Continue to chase and kill, let Xianbei break his courage!" ”

Zhao Yun frowned, looking worried. The art of war is cloudy, and the poor don't chase it. Although Xianbei seems to be defeated now, on the vast grassland, Zhao Yun is still a little worried in his heart. However, according to the temperament of Xianbei in the past, it should not be allowed to tens of thousands of troops to be slaughtered so ruthlessly by the soldiers and horses of the state. If Xianbei has a strategy to lure the enemy, such a loss is too great.

"No!" Between thoughts, Zhao Yun did not hesitate, clenched his fists and led the order, reflexively continued to move towards the formation, slaughtering the Xianbei army that had no intention of resisting.

"Whew... Will. Checkmate! Zhao Liang, who finally caught up, came to Xu Shu, who looked a little crazy, gasping for breath and said: "We are alone in the hinterland of Xianbei, so it's better to be cautious!" ”

Xu Shu wiped the blood on his face, nodded and said, "Ben will know." However, being able to eat tens of thousands of Xianbei troops is also cost-effective! ”

Xu Shu, who took the words, pondered for a moment, and then ordered to his personal guards: "Order the whole army to pursue Xianbei to the east, and Xianbei who fled north don't have to pay attention to it." Although Xu Shu wanted to wipe out this Xianbei, Xu Shu was not stunned by the big victories he had won several times along the way. The purpose of this dispatch was to attack Xianbei and Wuhuan in western Liaoxi with the Xizhong army, rather than to conquer Xianbei in the north.

Yan Gang, Guan Jing and others, who kept chasing Xianbei before the battle, were greatly relieved after receiving Xu Shu's order. Even if Yan Gang, Guan Jing and others followed Gongsun Zhan and also defeated Xianbei, but the lone army went hundreds of miles deep, Yan Gang, Guan Jing and others were also worried in their hearts, for fear of being besieged by the Xianbei army in the hinterland of Xianbei. After Xu Shu's military order, the soldiers and horses in the battlefield began to turn around visibly, and the entire army advanced in the direction of Liucheng (now Chaoyang City, Liaoning) in the eastern part of western Liaoning.

"General, what should you do with the Xianbei prisoners?"

Ignoring Xianbei, who fled north, the fighting quickly subsided. Gongsun continued to hold thousands of captured thousands of Xianbei soldiers, and came to Xu Shu a little tired. Xu Shu raised his eyes, his eyes crossed Gongsun Xu, and swept towards the thousands of Xianbei captives behind Gongsun Xu, his brows furrowed deeply. The lone expedition to Xianbei needs to be fast and slow, and quickly take Liucheng before Xianbei and Wuhuan have time to react, and then use this as a foundation to assist Xizhong to recover Liaoxi.

Xu Shu's army already had only more than 10,000 elites and thousands of prisoners, and no matter how much Xu Shu had to send more than 1,000 soldiers and horses to escort him, Xu Shu, who was eager to attack Liucheng, was very embarrassed, and even looked at Gongsun Xu with dissatisfaction. Gongsun Xu saw Xu Shu's face, he was at a loss for a while, and his mind flashed in his mind what he had done since he went out with the army, and it seemed that he had not violated military discipline.

"Let it go!" After thinking about it for a long time, Xu Shu said with a calm face: "Our characters have captured Liucheng, and there are prisoners with the army, not to mention the waste of troops, but also to guard against the rebellion of the prisoners!" ”

"Released?" Gongsun continued to be stunned, in order to capture thousands of prisoners, but it took a lot of effort for him to let him go so easily? Gongsun Xu's face changed, and he seemed a little dissatisfied. Yan Gang on the side is a veteran in the army, how can he not see Xu Shu's thoughts. Although it is understandable, the two months of following Xu Shu also made Yan Gang understand Xu Shu's personality. Fierce to the enemy, even harder to yourself.

"The general is very worried!" Seeing that Gongsun Xu still didn't understand, Yan Gang hurriedly took over: "Recovering Liaoxi is the top priority, and we must not delay a great opportunity for a few prisoners." Moreover, the Eastern Xianbei is the most treacherous of the Xianbei, and it is not sure when they will rebel. After that, Yan Gang made a strong look at Gongsun Continue.

After Gongsun Xu saw Yan Gang's eyes, he understood a little in his heart, and clenched his fists and said, "No!" ”

"General Zilong!"

"The last general!"

Xu Shu still ordered with a calm face: "When the Xianbei captives leave, General Zilong will accompany him and drive him a hundred miles away, if there is resistance, there will be no mercy!" ”

"No!" Zhao Yun's face sank when he heard the order. It seems that Xu Shu wants to exterminate Xianbei and let Zhao Yun drive him away, but it is just an excuse. The information conveyed by Xu Shu's eyes, how could there be the meaning of Fang Xianbei's captives leaving? Although Zhao Yun was a little unbearable in his heart, Zhao Yun also understood that Xu Shu's actions were just to let the soldiers and horses of Bingzhou have no worries and concentrate on attacking Liucheng.

Subsequently, Zhao Yun arranged for his personal guards to be mixed among the captives, and after driving the Xianbei captives to the north for thirty miles, let the personal guards rebel, and Zhao Yun used this as an excuse to lead five thousand white horse righteous servants to drive out all the Xianbei captives.

"General, the remnants of the Xianbei army are really wrong, they rebelled when they drove north, and the last general has killed all the Xianbei prisoners, leaving no one alive!"

On the bank of the Yushui River, a hundred miles west of Liucheng, Zhao Yun led Bai Ma Yicong back to the temporary camp and reported to Xu Shu covered in blood. Hearing this, Gongsun Xu, Yan Gang and others in the tent frowned, lowered their heads and quietly looked at Xu Shu. I saw Xu Shu answer indifferently: "Hard work General Zilong, most of the Xianbei are unkind and unjust, General Zilong killed well!" ”

For some reason, the seemingly soft smile made Yan Gang and the others feel a chill down their backs. In the past, Gongsun Zhan's treatment of nomadic foreigners can already be described as brutal, Yan Gang and others did not expect that the seemingly elegant Xu Shu was more ruthless than Gongsun Zhan. Gongsun Xu, who was still unknown, was already in a cold sweat at this time, and it turned out that not all of the generals in the state were benevolent.

Xu Shu squinted, looked at everyone's reactions, and nodded lightly with satisfaction, this is what Xu Shu wanted. It is a good thing that the generals of Youzhou are attached, but Xu Shu does not want the existence of Gongsun Xu to become a dark tumor for Xiang Ao's forces in the future, and Xiang Ao sent all the generals of Youzhou to Xu Shu, Xu Shu understood Xiang Ao's intentions. Xu Shu knows that his lord has great ambitions, and the various families he will invest in in the future must have a lot of power, and Xu Shu will not allow any of Xiang Ao's factions to appear.

"It's not early today, General Zilong will rest first, and discuss how to attack Liucheng tomorrow."

Xu Shu said indifferently, and Zhao Yun also took the order without expression. As soon as the generals in the tent said goodbye to Xu Shu, they left one after another. Xu Shu didn't take the beating of the former Youzhou generals to heart, after all, it takes time to change, and it can't be achieved overnight.

Within two months of Xu Shu's departure, Xi Zhong also relied on his military talent to severely press and beat the Wuhuan who was entrenched in the fat area. Within two months, Xizhong not only recovered Lingzhi and Haiyang counties, but also suppressed Wuhuan on both sides of the Great Wall. Lu Longsai was also taken down by Xi Zhong long ago, advancing from north to south, longitudinally, and avoiding Wuhuan step by step to the central part of western Liaoning.

Xianbei and Wuhuan are in their own ways, and they are powerful and blessed in western Liaoning, and they do not affect each other. However, after Xu Shu's troops came to Liucheng, Xianbei and Wuhuan in western Liaoning had no choice but to unite and resist the menacing Bingzhou soldiers and horses. Yuwen Xianbei and Duan's Xianbei, who had previously conspired with Yuan Shaogou and Youzhou, under the pressure of Xizhong and Xu Shu, temporarily put aside their prejudices and retreated together in Feiru and Linyu counties (near present-day Shanhaiguan and Qinhuangdao).

"Do General Guan and General Yan have an opinion?"

In the camp tent hundreds of miles away from Liucheng, Xu Shu asked Yan Gang and Guan Jing a little respectfully how to attack Liucheng.

Compared with the generals of Bingzhou, the former Youzhou generals Yan Gang and Guan Jing have followed Gongsun Zan for many years, and have attacked each other with Xianbei and Wuhuan, attacking Liucheng, Xu Shu still attaches great importance to the opinions of the two. Moreover, the boundary of Youzhou is much more familiar with the two of them than the generals of Bingzhou.

"General!" Seeing this, the veteran Yan Gang stepped forward with his fists and said loudly: "Liucheng was originally an important city in western Liaoning to prevent nomadic invasion of Youzhou, although the radius is not large, but the city wall is extremely tall. My former lord... In the past, General Gongsun even sent people to find fine iron and make city gates, and the defense was extremely strong. ”

Yan Gang coughed lightly with a slightly embarrassed sigh and continued: "The terrain near Liucheng is complex, with flat land and hills intertwined, which is conducive to cavalry and infantry combat. Coupled with the surroundment of Yushui, it is really not easy to attack Liucheng. ”

Hearing this, Xu Shu frowned and nodded slightly, looking at Guan Jing. Seeing this, Guan Jing smiled a little flatteringly, hugged his fists at Xu Shu and said, "General, what General Yan said is a thing. However, Liucheng was built by our Han Chinese, and it was not impossible to attack. ”

"General, please look!" Guan Jing owed a debt, and before coming to Yutu, he said very respectfully: "Liucheng is built on the south of the mountain, and there is Yushui from the north. The nomadic foreigners are not good at defending the city, and they will definitely place most of their troops in the east and west city gates, and for the south and north gates, which seem to be easy to defend and difficult to attack, the troops will definitely be empty. The soldiers and horses of our state are not only good at riding, but also good at besieging cities. The general only needs to try to secretly cross the Chongqing River, or sneak attack the south gate, and it will definitely have an effect. ”

Xu Shu looked at Guan Jing, whose face was full of flattery, and said with a very meaningful smile: "General Guan's wisdom is really outstanding, and he has the style of a general." If Liucheng is broken, he will report to the lord and make the first credit for General Guan. ”

"The last general thanked the general!" When Guan Jing heard this, his expression was a little excited.
